R - Student Exclusionary Discipline File 2022-2023

Introduction

This file captures information regarding behavior and exclusionary discipline actions for students involved in incidents during school or school-related activities. All firearm incidents must be reported, regardless of the exclusionary action applied. This file only collects information related to students who received disciplinary actions, not all student(s) affected by the disciplinary incident.

This file consists of one record for each exclusionary discipline action recorded for a student offender as part of an incident during the current school year. If multiple students are associated with the same incident, then one record must be submitted for each student being disciplined.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. Refer to selection criteria for analysis of report results when the report does not return the correct records.

Student Selection

The report selects records from the [Students] table based on the following criteria:

  • The student must be the offender in an incident with a reportable behavior or a reportable action.
  • The student must have had disciplinary action taken against them connected to the incident.

Report Input
